    • Trivia
      The ninth pairing out of ten movies of comic actors and great friends Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
    • Goofs
      When Herb comes up to Charlie, who is faking an injury in front of Liz in order to elude Gil, the two pretend to not know each other and Liz believes them, even though they were looking around in her suite together when she and her mother walked in.
    • Quotes

      Charlie: Be careful! Some of the big fish can swallow you whole.

      Herb: Swallow my what? You're not helping.

    • Crazy credits
      During the first part of the credits, the cast (singly and in pairs) dances; during the latter part, we see outtakes.

    Entertaining.
    There isn't much to say about this film. It is entertaining, and was not made with the intent of winning any major awards, but just to make people laugh. Most of the humor works quite well too. It is very reminiscent of Lemmon and Matthau's other projects together THE ODD COUPLE II and Lemmon's solo with James Garner MY FELLOW AMERICANS.

    The film has divine originality as the plot has not been done before; but the story has its share of cliches. The dance host director (played by Brent Spiner) who has the honor of taking on the "bad guy villain" role of this film is quite laughable, but still acceptable. The film goes from depressing to funny as hell and makes you forget your life for a while.

    Quite a good comeback for the Grumpys. Well worth watching. I recommend you see GRUMPY OLD MEN, THE ODD COUPLE II and MY FELLOW AMERICANS.

    OUT TO SEA: 4/5.
